The spinning top has fallen... Chris Nolan's INCEPTION gets first poster!!!

Intriguing tease which leaves you with more questions than answers over his Dark Knight follow-up!

By Matt Holmes /

That teasing spinning top has fallen on InceptionMovie.com, and if you are patient enough to finish the proceeding maze game, you will be greeted with the first of what we hope is an inventive and ever expanding viral campaign (ala The Dark Knight) for Chris Nolan's highly anticipated "contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind". Here's the first official one-sheet poster! Take a look closely. I'm certain there's clues hidden here... Not all that dissimilar to a Joker poster from The Dark Knight, there's our lead Leonardo DiCaprio, a spitting image of Nolan himself from behind but with a gun in his hand rather than a camera. DiCaprio's knee deep in water, a possible recurring motif of Inception (this does look like it's going to be futuristic film noir after all) and there's something in those clouds, I'm certain. Is it the face of God, a Swastika seems a good shout, or maybe a propeller wing or wormhole? First Showing break down how you can come about accessing the above poster for yourself from the Inception website.

Once the top stops spinning, click it's top and you'll be taken to: yourmindisthesceneofthecrime.com. From there click the button to the left and you'll be shown the mini-game called Mind Crime. In the game you have to design a maze (a complicated one) and then once it's finished and you click "play" it adds more maze pieces to the side and takes you into the city like you're a human inside someone's mind in the maze. Pretty crazy, eh? Once you finish you'll be given an "asset" of this first poster seen above.
